Euro 2024: Bukayo Saka Performance Receives Massive Applaud By The Media Despite England’s Final Loss

Bukayo Saka’s standout performance in the Euro 2024 final drew widespread acclaim by the media, despite England’s heartbreak against Spain.

The Arsenal winger, forced to witness his club teammate David Raya lift the Euro 2024 trophy, was lauded by multiple English media outlets for his individual efforts.

Matt Law of The Telegraph noted that Saka consistently troubled Cucurella whenever he had possession.

He highlighted, “It was Saka’s run and pass that eventually led to Palmer scoring England’s equalizer.”

Describing Saka as “unstoppable when in full flight,” Law emphasized how he consistently unsettled defenders throughout the tournament.

Rob Draper of The Guardian echoed this sentiment, highlighting that Saka’s pace caused significant problems for Spain.

He underlined, “His cross played a crucial role in England’s comeback,” and acknowledged his impactful performance from the start.

Ben Grounds, writing for Sky Sports, observed that Saka was a constant threat, often igniting excitement among fans with his dynamic play.

Craig Hope, in the Daily Mail, praised Saka as England’s most effective attacking player in the final, commending his proactive approach and pivotal contribution to England’s goal.

Saka had been instrumental in England’s journey to the final, notably saving them from quarter-final elimination against Switzerland with a remarkable solo effort and a decisive penalty-shootout goal.

However, despite the accolades, England fell short, leaving Saka and his teammates with disappointment.

As he looks ahead to a brief break before rejoining Arsenal next month, the promising 22-year-old will reflect on a tournament where his performances captured the imagination of fans and pundits alike.
